Definitions
- the subject of the present invention is a quick coupling for connecting hoses carrying a pressurized fluid.
- this object is achieved by the fact that use is made of a quick female coupling having a fluid inlet and outlet and containing in its interior a fixed shutoff bolt acting in combination with tubular parts that can be moved against the action of spring means, and there can be inserted into the female part a male coupling fitted with a cylindrical projection having an aperture for the pressurized fluid to flow through and having internal sealing means, and that the coupling is characterized in that, housed inside the male part, is a sliding tubular part having at the front end a closed wall against which there presses a spring supported by a locally fixed support, in that the tubular part has external circumferential collar which, in the rest position, presses against an annular step on the inside of the cylindrical projection, in that the tubular part, wish the aid of an intermediate O ring, supports, and allows to slide, a shutoff body having a sealing surface which the action of a spring means presses against a shutoff shoulder on the internal circumference of the cylindrical projection and in that the shutoff body has apertures following the
- FIG. 1 shows the two components of the quick coupling in the closed position, not assembled together
- FIG. 2 shows the first stage in assembling together the two components of the quick coupling
- FIG. 3 shows a further position of the components of the quick coupling in the course of their assembly
- FIG. 4 shows the components of the quick coupling, now fully assembled and consequently with pressurized fluid flowing through it
- FIG. 5 shows on an enlarged scale a detail of the shutoff means located inside the male coupling.
- the quick coupling marked 1 as a whole, consists of a female part 2 and a coupling 3 forming the male part.
- the part 2 has, in a known way, an axial hole 4 for the pressurized fluid to flow through. Also in a known way there is provided, in a locally fixed position inside the axial hole 4, a bolt 5 having a shutoff seat 6 acting in combination with a tubular shutoff body 7 that can be moved against the action of a spring 8 and that acts in combination with annular sleeve 9 urged by a spring 10 pressing against a stop formed on the external circumference of the tubular body 7.
- the sleeve 9 has a first front surface 43.
- the female part 2 is known in the prior art.
- the coupling 3 forming the male part comprises an axial hole 4 for the pressurized fluid to flow through.
- a locally fixed support 11 comprising through apertures 12 for the fluid.
- a helical spring 13 presses against the support 11 and acts against the closed wall 14 of a tubular part 15 on whose external circumference is an annular projection 16 by which it presses against a stop 17 projecting from the inside of a bolt body 40.
- a sealing means 17" Inside the body 40, at its front, is a sealing means 17" in the form of an O ring.
- a step 18 which defines an annular shutoff shoulder is formed inside the body 40. Pressing against this shutoff shoulder 18 is an annular shutoff surface 19 forming part of a valve body 20, which may for example be cup-shaped and is urged by a spring 21 pressing against the fixed support 11.
- the tubular bolt 15, which is urged by the spring 13, is pushed in the inactive condition of the coupling 3 so that its projecting collar 16 is stopped by the stop 17 so that the sealing ring 17" is covered and protected in this position.
- the spring 21 acts on the cup body 20 and pushes its shutoff surface 19 against the shutoff edge 18 of the bolt body 40.
- the sealing ring 17" is still covered and shielded by the tubular body 7 and the fluid is still unable to flow through the holes 4.
- the spring 10 produces a displacement of the tubular body 7, releasing the shutoff seat 6 of the bolt 5.
